BLACKOUT @ BROCK

While Brock may be famous for its seminar lectures, I am quite sure it is not famous for its power failures. Last Wednesday a power outage in the entire Niagara region and the city of St. Catherine's negated that the University shut down for the day. The power outage sparked as you would guess "CHAOS". It wreaked havoc with the bus schedules, the in and outward traffic at the University itself and the days classes were canceled as of 12:00p.m. While my housemates cheered the fact that there was no school, I was more concerned with how long the power would be off (cause mama began to notice that when the power went off, so did the heating system). I was more than happy some two hours later when power was restored to the area and began to wonder what else the wonderful land of snow may have in store for me.
Today began with us in the trenches of a very lively snowstorm that once again negated the closure of the Universities afternoon classes. While I am not surprised that the school is closed, I am nevertheless disappointed because this is the fourth Wednesday in a row that I have missed a seminar class. If they keep this up I will have missed an entire semester of one particular seminar through no fault of my own of course. I wonder if that will automatically constitute an A grade in this class?
LOL!!! While that remains to be seen, I would be remiss if I do not once again state...I wonder what else is there in store for me during my duration here?
